Welcome!
We research the fundamental nanoscale materials processes that occur when an energy material is operated. How the material evolves over time are investigated using the latest techniques in transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
WS2 electrical breakdown in the TEM
Imaging the change in atomic structure of mono- and few-layer WS2 after high-bias induced breakdown.
Sub-nanometre pores in graphene
Atomic resolution imaging of the bonding structure of graphene sub-nanometre pores - the ultimate sieve.
